    If you're a Mac user, getting a Diigo toolbar for Firefox, or the nearly as functional Diigolet for Safari, makes it relatively easy to highlight passages and bookmark sites as you browse.

    If you're doing Delicious bookmarking already, I urge you to import your Delicious bookmarks to Diigo, and make Diigo your primary social bookmarking tool, because you can get new Diigo bookmarks to propagate automatically to Delicious. Then if, for unexpected reasons, either bookmarking system has a major hick-up, like Magnolia did, you won't have all of your eggs in one basket.

    Though Diigo for Safari on Windows was not an option the last time I checked, I do have the Diigo toolbar for Firefox (and maybe Internet Explorer) for Windows at home, too.

Building Communities--Strategies for Collaborative Learning - 2002 - ASTD - 0 views

  • E-learning communities are groups of people connected solely via technology. All interactions begin and occur over the Internet, through conference calls, via videoconferencing, and so forth. These communities promote virtual collaboration that's focused on addressing a specific topic, and they are supported by one or more online learning and media tools.
  • Blended learning communities integrate online learning and face-to-face meetings. Two core assumptions of this type of community are 1) deep personal relationships between learners create richer collaborative learning experiences and 2) relationships between learners can be strengthened through structured group interactions that employ technology before and/or after a face-to-face learning event.
  • For example, a leadership development program might include an ice-breaker community to provide prework and introduce participants, a face-to-face experiential workshop to help clarify and define individual development objectives, and a follow-up community that focuses on coaching and mentoring to overcome challenges as participants achieve their objectives.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Whether creating a community for e-learning or one that supports a blended learning approach, community builders must consider a variety of factors related to people, group processes, and technology--if they're to design and orchestrate online environments that inspire collaborative learning.
  • As the term community has become an ambiguous buzzword, the concept has become synonymous with online discussion boards and chat rooms. When put into a learning context, however, community can be a vehicle for connecting people to other people’s stories and experiences, as well as mentoring, all of which result in accelerated learning and the sharing of tacit knowledge within an organization.

Proposals for tagging and annotating bookmarks as references for students - 4 views

references students tagging
started by Paul Beaufait on 08 Sep 09 no follow-up yet
  • Paul Beaufait
     
    In spite of suggestions I'd made earlier, regarding using the tag, "wink" (alone), to flag pages as references for students (Diigo Group Invitation, Personal Message, from Paul Beaufait, para. 1; August 26, 2009 [10:45:02 JST]), something I read yesterday in Remembering Helen from Webbed Feat by Sylvia Currie changed my mind.

    http://mywebbedfeat.blogspot.com/2009/08/remember-helen.html

    As an alternative, I'd like to propose the using the tag, "wink_students" (not plain English, but still humanly readable), instead. Then we could combine that tag with topic or purpose specific tags of the plain Engish variety, for example:

    wink_students writing mind-mapping tools

    How does that sound?

McToonish » ... » The Death of Communities When Courses End - 0 views

  •  
    "Fortunately Facebook, Ning, Google and Yahoo Groups and many other options for social networking don't work that way. Those communities can continue for as long as the members of the community put in the effort to keep it alive. This can be very useful for students to stay in contact for social, professional and learning opportunities" (Ross, 2008.10.06).

Auto Blog Post - 2 views

    Auto Blog Post is a new feature that extracts bookmarks from Diigo, with or without annotations, and posts them automatically in pre-formatted, back-linked posts suited to a variety of blog engines, Blogger and Wordpress in particular. I've set my Diigo account to post WinK Core: Weblogging in Kumamoto bookmarks, with annotations, to the WinK Collaboration Space.

    If a setup for personal bookmarks which began feeding an individual Blogger blog within hours is any indication (pabspotpourri 09/04/2009), recent bookmarks should show up in the Wink Collaboration Space soon. Hopefully they'll refresh weekly at 00:00 UTC thereafter. That is, if the innovative P2 template there is compatible.
